Hey guyz
just got my bricked htc sensation from htc.
They replace motherbooard in warranty.
It comes with android 2.3.4
So, before i go to custom roms i have few questions

1 )Should i install ics after s of directly or s off--->recovery--->apply update? It require ics Firmware?

2)does formating sd card and factory reseting aokp aosp roms cause device bricked?

3)Does Battery low up to zero cause brick?

4)if we use same rom 4 long time without update or reflash is there chance to bricked?

Please clear my these doubts.
I dont want bricked my device again.
Thank you...

1.first do soff.. Using revolutionary that's the easiest way to soff your device

2.not anymore.. Got fixed ages ago

3.battery normally won't stay until zero.. If it goes until there.. The battery will die.. Anyways this won't happen most of the times

4.NO

After soff.. Whatever you want to do..
1.update firmware then custom ics rom
2.you can use the OTA update.. Too from kgs thread.. He mentioned the steps pretty clearly (4EXT recovery is not required)
